The Toyota Camry Has a Better Reliability Rating: According to J.D. Power, the 2023 Camry received an 83 out of 100 in reliability. Comparatively, the Honda Accord received an 82 out of 100. Though the difference is minor, the Camry is still the more reliable vehicle.

However, the Camry offers more, especially its safety features, as it has forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and road sign recognition.

As for the Honda Accord, this model only offers frontal collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist in its base model.

The base model is a 2.5-liter 188-horsepower four-cylinder engine, and the other is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 236-hp four-cylinder. Compare this to the Camry, which outshines the Altima with its base 203-horsepower four-cylinder and more powerful 301-horsepower V6 motor.

The Toyota Camry Has More Trims And Features: The more trims a vehicle has, the more features it inevitably offers, and such is the case with the Camry and Altima. The Toyota Camry has six trims compared to the Altima's five, and their higher trims differ greatly. When comparing the highest trims, we find the Altima only has combined features of other trims. In contrast, the Camry has unique features like 19-inch wheels, an aerodynamic body trim, a sport exhaust, and special sport-tuned suspension.

The Elantra Hybrid Blue uses a hybrid powertrain with a 1.6-liter engine to produce 139 hp and the highest trim has a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine to produce 201 hp.

Comparatively, the Camry has a base 203-horsepower four-cylinder and a more powerful 301-horsepower V6 motor.
